Innervisions Master

Ordering

Ordering these grow kits is just the same as ordering any other product from the Azarius website: quick, easy and reliable. You can pay for the products in a safe way using many different methods: cash via mail,  cheque, credit card, money transfer, etc. You can look at their order information here. Your order then gets shipped to you fast and discretely. We never experienced any problems.

The Grow Kits

This mushroom grow kit contains a grow box with perlite, vermiculite, a rye grain spawn bag and a plastic bag with filter patch for fruiting.
The Master kits are exactly the same as the Easy kits, only bigger. This kit contains a 2100ml grow box, opposed to a 1200ml grow box.

Spore syringes are sold separately on the Azarius website.

Just like all the other Innervisions grons kits we tested, this one is completely sterile and of high quality. The grow kit includes a step-by-step manual with high quality pictures.

Growing the mushrooms

Once the spawn bag is colonized, growing the mushrooms is just the same as with any other Innervisions kit. Open the lid, place the box in the bag and wait. Simple as that.

Rating

The ideal grow kit for anyone who’s looking for a big harvest and a lot of hands-on experience. You wont find a better grow kit in my opinion. Don’t hesitate and order your grow kit on Azarius.net.

The Grow Kits

The ‘Easy’ kits are kind of like the big brothers of the ‘Ready-To-Grow’ kits. The ‘Ready-To-Grow’ kits are ready for harvest, whilst the Easy kits still have to be injected with spores and have to be colonized. This Easy kit is a bit more difficult and higher in maintenance, but you experience more as well. This kit is great for both experienced users and beginners.

The spawn bags were sterile and of great quality. As I said before, the Innervisions grow kits are the best you’ll find.

This grow kit is the same as the Ready-To-Grow kit, but with a little more hands-on experience (and fun!). You wont find a better grow kit in my opinion. Don’t hesitate and order your grow kit on Azarius.net.

Innervisions Ready-To-Grow Cambodian

Ordering

Ordering these growboxes is very easy. You can order from the Azarius website. They accept credit cards, iDeal, cheque and even cash via mail. You can take a look at all their payment options here. The Azarius crew then neatly package your order and ship it. We never had to wait long for our order to arrive. That’s because Azarius only ships their orders with the most reliable companies.

The growbox

The growbox contains everything you need to succesfully grow your mushrooms. These growboxes are easy to use and of a very high quality. We have seen many growboxes before and we must say that these are the best we’ve ever seen, hands down.

The cultures were sterile every single time, which is the biggest issues when dealing with growboxes. Fortunately, we can say that Azarius only sells high quality products.

Growing your mushrooms

Growing the mushrooms is as easy as opening the box. This growbox doesn’t require any effort. Within 2 weeks you’ll see the mushrooms popping up. The only thing you need to do is watch how they mature and then harvest.
You can then prepare the growbox for another flush. You can expect at least 4 flushes.

Sidenote:

The only issues we encountered with these growboxes is that you might get a trichoderma infection after the second or third flush. However, that has nothing to do with the sterility of the product, but rather with the cleanness of your growing environment. So be safe and always make sure your growing area is clean and dustfree.

Rating

We rate the Innervision Easy Canbodian Growbox the best there is. Especially for beginning growers. Don’t wait any longer, order from the Azarius website at http://azarius.net/.

12 oz fresh oyster and lion’s mane mushrooms, or other fresh mushrooms
4 shallots, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
1 T tomato paste
1/4 C cilantro, minced
6 sage leaves, minced
1 C mushroom or vegetable broth*
1 C dry white wine
1/2 C heavy cream (optional)
2 T butter
1/2 C Parmiggiano Reggiano, shredded
fish sauce, hot sauce to taste
8 oz fettucine or other dried pasta

For the topping: 
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C minced fennel
1/3 C unflavored bread crumbs
olive oil
salt, cayenne pepper to taste

Method

Make the topping first, if using:
Sauté the garlic, fennel and bread crumbs in olive oil until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

Slice the lion’s mane into 1/4″ thick slices. Gently separate the oyster mushroom petals. Chop any stem or core pieces from the oyster mushroom.

Sauté the shallots and garlic in olive oil until the shallots just start to turn translucent. Remove from pan and set aside. Add some more olive oil to the pan and then the mushrooms. Gently stir them over medium high heat for a few minutes. Add the broth, tomato paste and wine, lower heat and cover. Cook for 8 minutes. Remove cover and stir gently over medium heat until the liquid is nearly gone. Stir in the reserved shallot/garlic mixture, sage, cilantro, butter, cheese and cream (if using). Season to taste with the fish sauce and hot sauce. Keep warm if the pasta isn’t quite ready.

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water. When cooked, remove a dozen or so of the larger mushroom pieces to a side plate. Then, with tongs, lift the pasta directly into the pan with the mushroom sauce, allowing a little of the pasta water to ride along. Over medium heat, lift and toss the pasta to mix with the sauce (be careful not to break up the mushroom pieces).

To serve, place in a warmed pasta bowl. Top with the reserved mushroom pieces, a sprinkling of the fennel/garlic topping and, if desired, a stalk or two of chives.

Method:

Add some butter to a pan on medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the ground beef. Cook until ready. Add seasoning, but be careful with pepper. Shiitakes are a bit spicy as well.
